13. Don't take this the wrong way

I like your hero Bernie. But your whole argument is turned upside down when you consider he has been in congress for how many years?

From Wikipedia: ".......Sanders is the longest serving independent in U.S. congressional history. Since his election to the House of Representatives in 1991......."

And Nancy Pelosi helped to accomplish this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patient_Protection_and_Affordable_Care_Act

An accomplishment people, including Bernie, have been fighting for over decades and decades.

It's time to put aside our differences, which when studied, are minor in comparison to what the rat wingers want to do to our country and fellow citizens.
